Saint Alexandra (Defender of Humanity)

Patron Saint: Defender of Humanity

Why she is venerated by the Holy Roman Catholic Church:

St. Alexandra was part of 300 Christian women on a mission of peace to Rome. During this time, Christian persecution was rampant under Emperor Diocletian, and every one of the women were Martyred by being burned alive.

About Me

My name is Patrick and I am fascinated by the Catechism and the martyrs of the Catholic Religion. There are three things I would like to accomplish with this blog. Number 1: Write the brief histories and information of a few well known and not so well known Catholic Saints. Number 2: Highlight other specific Catholic blogs that I find interesting along my quest for knowledge, and number 3: share my own insight on various topics in regard to the Catechism and Catholic Church. Please comment and let me know what you think.
